The Lodz Film School Cinema invites you to film screenings in January. Every Thursday at 7 p.m. the school opens to anyone interested in world and Polish cinema. 2024 will be inaugurated by the warmest film of the season, with the A24 studio's quality mark - "Past Lives" by Celine Song (January 11). On the following Thursday, 18 January, Maciej Hamela, the creator of the famous documentary "In the Rearview" will be our guest who will meet the audience after the screening of his film, which is on the Oscar shortlist and is competing for a nomination. Finally, on the last Thursday of January (January 25), the Australian discovery of the Berlinale - "Limbo" dir. Ivan Sen.
A love story from the A24 Studio
"Past Lives" by Celine Song is a love story which with lightness and charm redefines the rules of on-screen romance, making Sundance, Berlinale audiences and A24 studio fans fall in love with it. It evokes the spirit of Richard Linklater's trilogy and the best New York film stories. In-Yun is a Korean belief that people grow closer to each other because their souls met in previous incarnations. Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo) grew up together in South Korea. Separated by fate as children, they find each other years later thanks to social media. "What would it be like if?" This question keeps pounding in the characters' heads. Most film critics and moviegoers have pronounced the film one of the best films of 2023.

From the Oscar shortlist to the Lodz Film School Cinema
“In the Rearview” is the full-length documentary debut film by Maciej Hamel, shortlisted for the Oscar Award, the most important award in the world of film. Film synopsis: The first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. People caught by time and in space, facing an uncertain here and now, choose to abandon what they hold most precious as they climb straight into the dusty van with foreign plates. The film “In the Rearview” is a collective portrait composed of the experiences of those who have a single goal: finding a safe haven. In the van, the temporary asylum for all of them, their differences in gender, age, skin tone, physical condition, origin, identity, worldviews and faith drop away. The questions “where from” and “where to” which constitute the film’s original title - are routine questions asked when the van is trying to break through the numerous checkpoints located throughout the territory of Ukraine. After the screening, which is scheduled for January 18 at 7:00 p.m., there will be a meeting with director Maciej Hamela, led by film critic Mateusz Demski.

“Limbo” - genre in a contemporary version
"Limbo" is not only a gripping crime noir film but also a powerful portrayal of the everyday discrimination and injustice experienced by indigenous people in Australia. The film is truly breathtaking, using the desert scenery of the Australian wilderness. Travis Hurley (Simon Baker, known from "The Mentalist") is a tired detective who is trying to solve a murder from twenty years earlier. The man calls on the inhabitants of a remote mining town in South Australia to take another look at an unsolved case. It was then that the mysterious murder of the Aboriginal girl Charlotte Hayes took place. For the locals, giving any information to a white policeman is not an accepted practice. The main character will face the reluctance of the native inhabitants: on the one hand, because of racism among the local police, and on the other, because of the mystery that lies behind the criminal intrigue. Ivan Sen's film is shot in black and white, but in the world of "Limbo" there is no easy division between good and evil.
